Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 003B Hazard:
29 CFR 1910.119(j)(4)(iii): The frequency of inspections and tests of process equipment shall be consistent with applicable manufacturers' recommendations and good engineering practices, and more frequently if determined to be necessary by prior operating experience: At a facility located at 802 South Street, Plymouth, WI 53073; the employer did not ensure the frequency of independent inspections and/or tests of the ammonia refrigeration systems' piping and vessels.
